The task of insulators is to isolate the conducting wire on which the current stands in relation to the earth. It prevents shorting and at the same time keeps creep currents to humidity and dirt deposit low. Top wall electric fences, free-standing electric fences and farm fences use electric fence insulators. The choice of insulators depends on each type of fence. Below are different types1. of electric fence insulators available in Kenya.
